I'm sorry to disappoint you but people were told they can avoid government sanctions by using bitcoin back in 2009. If bitcoin is not capable of avoiding sanctions imposed by state actors then bitcoin is not useful at all. Samourai are just more principled and straightforward as a company than many others.

I remember the time many years ago when your colleagues argued that Bitcoin-QT GUI should not be translated into Farsi because of the sanctions on Iran imposed by the United States. Obviously, DOJ & Co have not learned the lessons of that time.

The elites of the United Sanction of America and their satellites are more and more isolated from the rest of the world. They can not recognize the grave mistakes they made. So, they end up fucking their own population.
